I am trying to print to a HP printer from my XP machine that my print server has configured. From the cups admin page, I can print the test page so I am assuming that I have that portion configured correctly. I can add the printer to the XP machine via:
http://printmaster:631/printers/HPOffice5610
so since XP is allowing the printer to be added, he is seeing the printer from cups.
When I go to print the test page from the XP printer dialog (not the cups admin page), I seem to get the "Print-Job client-error-not-authorized" error, and I don't know why. I believe I have turned off all possible authentication issues. Here is my cupsd.conf file:

Well, I guess I am now making some progress. I deleted and recreated the printer to see if that worked. Now I don't get any errors....but I also don't get any printout.
172.16.1.12 - - [25/Dec/2009:22:22:33 -0500] "POST /printers/HPOffice5610 HTTP/1.1" 200 112523 Print-Job successful-okI can print the test page, and when I look at the page log, I can see where it has accepted the print job (as far as I can tell)
ARGH!

One last piece of info, I can print a text file from the shell with no issues. It just seems that I anything coming from http world (aka Windows) just seems to go through all the gyrations except for the last part of actually sending something to the printer. **sigh**

Hello all!
I had a quite similar problem. A USB-printer (HP LaserJet 1000) was connected to a Linux-server (Debian 5 testing, CUPS). I wanted to allow printing from a Windows-client (Vista) by means of CUPS only, without samba. I shared the printer changing the file cupsd.conf:
.....................................
<Location />
# Allow shared printing...
Order allow,deny
Allow all
</Location>
....................................
A remote printer with the address http://xx.xx.xx.xx:631/printer/HP_LaserJet_1000 was successfully installed on the Vista-client, but printing test page failed. There was a line in a log file (/var/log/cups/error_log):
... Returning IPP client-error-not-authorized for Print-Job
The following trick was helpful for me.
There was a slightly strange fact. When I looked at printer properties (CUPS via a browser — http://localhost:631/printer/HP_LaserJet1000), I saw the status like "waiting, accepting tasks, share access is not allowed" (sorry but I can't provide the exact english phrase because I use a russian Debian distributive). The last words "share access is not allowed" confused me, but I didn't know what they meant exactly. I believed that the printer was shared because I modified cupsd.conf according to manuals and printer was installed on Vista-client.
Having no better ideas, I decided that the printer name is too long and tried to change it. I opened the page http://localhost:631/printer/HP_LaserJet1000, clicked on "Administration" and chose in the dropdown list an item "Change printer". Than I chose the currently connected printer (usb://HP/LaserJet%201000) and clicked "continue". The following page contained fields "description", "location", "connection" and an option "share access" which was checked off. Naturally, I checked it on and proceeded to the next page. I remained an old driver, and at last got the message "the parameters/options successfully changed". After that, the status line of the printer (http://localhost:631/printer/HP_LaserJet1000) looked somewhat different: "waiting, accepting tasks, share access is allowed". I tried to send a test page to the printer from a Vista-client and it was successfully printed!
Yet it remains unclear which configuration file has been changed by checking on the option "share access". I compared old and new cupsd.conf and have found no difference. However that may be, the described trick helped me.
